| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Virgin Mary depicted standing in full figure, crowned and draped in flowing robes, holding the Christ Child before her with both arms. The composition is characteristic of Mariengroschen coinage of the period, with flames or rays emanating around the figure. The encircling Latin legend MARIA MA TER SALVA identifies the Virgin as Mother and Saviour, running along the periphery within the coin's border. |

Margaretha II von Gleichen ruled Herford Abbey as abbess from 1565 to 1578, presiding over an institution that held the unusual status of an Imperial Abbey — answerable directly to the emperor rather than any intervening secular or ecclesiastical lord. This independence granted Herford the right to strike its own coinage, a privilege the abbey exercised intermittently across several centuries. The Mariengroschen denomination was a north German small silver workhorse, and abbey issues like this circulated alongside far larger territorial coinages in a region crowded with competing minting authorities.
